<You mean build output profiles based on spectral
measurements? No. That’s a really cool and useful feature in ProfileMaker
Pro. I think the spectral data is recorded however and it is placed in a
private tag. Using it is another story>
I think that it is fair to expect a $4250 program to give
you this versatility. Having seen the results of PMP and Colorbyte’s
profiler, the benefit is real. Maybe they don’t have to allow you to
capture custom lighting conditions, but to offer other canned illuminants would
be a giant step forward. At this point, I might as well stick with Monaco
Profiler 4.5 and upgrade PMP 4.1.5 to 5 for $1000.

I’m not a lawyer, “c” appears to allow the
practice of making and selling a profile to a customer. “d” is
leaving me confused about the conditions of “c”.
